Custom Isolated Organ Tissue Bath w/ Grass FT03 Force Transducers & Glassware
Custom vintage isolated organ/tissue bath research rig, likely used for pharmacology or physiology experiments measuring contraction/relaxation of biological tissue samples. Tissue would be suspended in the glass bath chambers and connected to the Grass FT03 force-displacement transducers, allowing researchers to record force/tension changes while fluids, gases, or test solutions were circulated through the system.
Includes glass chambers/reservoirs, tubing, clamps, stands, and multiple Grass FT03 transducers. This unit was formerly used at a medical college research facility and thus configuration, completeness, and functionality unknown.
Used, see photos
Custom vintage isolated organ / tissue bath research system with multiple Grass FT03 force-displacement transducers, glass bath chambers, reservoirs, tubing, clamps, rods, stands, and related glassware/accessories shown. This type of apparatus was commonly used in pharmacology, physiology, toxicology, and biomedical research to study contraction and relaxation responses of isolated biological tissue preparations. Tissue samples would typically be suspended in temperature-controlled glass bath chambers and mechanically coupled to force transducers, allowing changes in force/tension to be recorded while buffer solutions, gases, drugs, or test compounds were introduced. The included Grass FT03 transducers are classic laboratory force-displacement transducers used for muscle/tissue tension measurement when paired with compatible bridge amplifiers, recorders, or data acquisition systems. This system came from a medical college research facility and appears to be a custom-configured organ bath rig rather than a current catalog system. Configuration, completeness, calibration, and functionality are unknown. Used surplus; see photos carefully for glass condition, fittings, tubing, clamps, transducer condition, and included components. Sold as-is for research equipment reuse, parts, repair, restoration, or custom lab setup.
Due to the size and fragile nature of this system, it must be shipped via freight. Buyer is responsible for the cost of freight shipping to their facility.
